[QUOTE="mattwtrs, post: 587081, member: 1187"] We've been married 35 years and whenever she worked it has alway been "our money=my pay check" & "her money=her paycheck". She does pay for family birthday presents, her clothes(way to many), wedding gifts & granddaughters stuff. She also paid her car payment that is in both our names. Now that I'm retired she pays for more of the vacations since I'm on a fixed income and my budget is $6,000 a year for vacations and Nascar races(she doesn't go). When she's mad she'll say, "why did you retire?" and my reply is "because I could!". I also tell her look at the obits in the paper, way too many people our age in there. I have planned for us living till we're 85 years old, so thats how long my savings need to last. She still works cause I tell her I didn't plan for her fun money in our retirement budget. She only works 12-13 days a month, no weekends. There is money for her but she'd spend it if I gave it to her. Life is good, no car payments, no credit card debt, just get up everyday and enjoy life, do some volunteer work and spoil the grandchildren. [/QUOTE]
